Survivor Kitty Hart-Moxon's account of her time in Auschwitz and Lublin is fascinating, it's full of the usual eyewitness nonsense, close escapes and episodes of amazing good luck. One of the most glaring errors she makes is when she describes witnessing a gassing -

'Small groups one at a time were led into the gas chambers. Day in, day out, we observed in horror as men in green uniforms donned gas masks, climbed ladders and emptied tins of white crystals into an opening in the roof of the building. Soon screams could be heard - it varied how long this lasted. Smoke and fire began to belch out of the chimney and soon ash was dumped into the pond behind crematorium IV. Often there was insufficient capacity to dispose of the dead and piles of corpses lay outside the building waiting to be burned.'

White Zyklon B, was there such a thing?

You can read her amazing account, amongst others from the links here -

"Smoke and fire began to belch out of the chimney"Oh, really? None of the wartime ground & aerial photos show this.* In fact it's next to impossible given the nature of the crematoriums that were used at Auschwitz.
* Except the fake photo that the Simon Wiesenthal Center was caught making, see my avatar.

"... and soon ash was dumped into the pond behind crematorium IV. Often there was insufficient capacity to dispose of the dead and piles of corpses lay outside the building waiting to be burned."Sure, right. Then why hasn't this pond been excavated and all the alleged ash been shown to everyone? Bodies outside? They never show up on the many photos of the area.

And given the alleged 'top secret' nature of these alleged actions, and the supposed need to keep inmates in the dark about their fate, how could all this be like nutjob Kitty Hart-Moxon claims?

Of course, the colour of Zyklon depended on the colour of the carrier material: paper or compressed sawdust discs or granular diatomite. The colour was presumably the result of a dye. Presumably the purpose of the colour was to provide warning that fumigation was in progress. I don't know off hand what kind of dye was used -- probably food colourant -- although a wide variety of irritant gases were used as a warning agent. It seems strange to delete theWARNSTOFF on the grounds that the intended human victims might become aware that they were being gassed, and simultaneously continue to use Zyklon, usually described as green or greenish-blue. Of course it is even stranger to use Zyklon at all. After all the stuff was slow, dangerous, expensive and needed for other purposes (fumigation) and was in short supply.

"I noticed there were some small greenish-blue crystals lying on the concrete floor at the back of the room. They were scattered beneath an opening in the ceiling. A large fan was installed up there, its blades humming as they revolved."

What a joke.

There is no evidence for "greenish-blue crystals", and the cyanide / Zyklon-B story, while completely debunked by Revisionists, now claims that the gassing agent was dropped into 4 cage like wire mesh structures...no fans, not on the floor. A pathetic attempt at damage control for a tale which is anti-science and beyond hope.
